Happy Birthday To Me

The weekend has just dragged on and on and on and on, to the point where I actually think I'm losing days somewhere in there. Friday lasted forever, as I had to deal with both a toddler that my mom babysits who's in her terrible two's, and made a trip to Lexington to boot. Picked up a new pair of shoes at a yard sale, a Punisher T-shirt, the WWE game Day Of Reckoning for my Cube, and the DVDs of Wrestlemania 21 and the first season of Viva La Bam. Stuff costs too much money nowadays. And today, I ended up hating the summer even more. We had a little festival today in town (which ended up being a giant yard sale), and my allergies got to me. One eye swelled shut, I sneezed until I thought my nose was gonna fall off, and I ended up with a sunburn too. And people wonder why I like winter so much.

But guess what? It's my freakin' birthday! I'm twenty-three years old today, and my vow for this year is that I'm actually gonna do some living for a change. You heard it here first.

And since it's a special day, I'm gonna take the time to thank my very special sponsors...

The University of West Alabama
Dynamite Kudo and all those at F.O.E.T.
The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense
Wolfram & Hart, Attorneys At Law

That's all I've got. Sutton out.

I Miss Joan Already

Well, that's just peachy. I just found out today that CBS cancelled Joan of Arcadia, so I guess that means two things. One, my Friday schedules are now clear. Two, unless the show comes back, I'll only be watching CBS during the month of March. The other eleven months out of the year, screw those guys.

On second thought, I take that whole "my Fridays are free" thing back. InsidePulse.com is reporting that UPN is moving Smackdown to Fridays starting this summer, and with Smallville apparently moving to Thursdays next season, I'll have my same regular TV viewing schedule as long as That 70s Show doesn't get cancelled.

Anyway, just felt like rambling. Sutton out.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Go put on your hockey mask, grab your machete, and have a great time at the lake!

You know, I can't really make decent predictions because I haven't seen half of these movies. And most of the ones I haven't seen, I don't really care if I see them or not. If I don't see Garden State or The Notebook, I won't really be torn up or anything. Screw those movies. And I'll say it right here and now: the only reason Napoleon Dynamite got so many nominations is because MTV produced it. I have yet to see it, so I can't really say if it deserved its nominations, but come on.

That's all I have. Sutton out.

I'm Happy I Don't Live In Amityville

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane... it's just me. Sorry to get your hopes up.

So I caught the Amityville Horror remake both on Monday afternoon and Thursday night, and my one word review is "eek." I thought the whole "let's explain everything" moment at the end was a little contrived and didn't really contribute anything to the movie, but other than that, it wasn't too bad at all. As usual, Ryan Reynolds stole the show. I was so used to seeing him as this hammy comedic guy, but then he turns into this abrasive psycho that thinks his family is crazier than he is. There's some fun scares, and I'll give it three and a half stars. As soon as I get around to seeing the original movie all the way through, full reviews will be forthcoming.

You know that little indy wrestling promotion I've talked about a lot? Sadly, they apparently had their final show last night. I don't know what I'm going to do on my weekends now, unless I start following one around the state or another promotion starts in that particular building. If it wasn't over an hour away, I'd start going to OVW's television tapings regularly.

Anyway, there's nothing else to report. Sutton out.
